Gran Torino [WS] [DVD] [2008]

While I like the movie Gran Torino, I bought this product specifically because it contained a Digital Copy. However, when I opened the package, I realized it is not a 2-disc package as described and it contains no digital copy or digital copy code. I will be returning this product. If a product doesn't contain what it is stated to contain, I must give it one-star. If upon return, they fix the issue, I will follow-up with further info.

Gran Torino is a great movie in every aspect of the word. I watch it all the time and tell everyone what a fantastic movie it is. Saw it first weekend it was in theaters. The following took my father because he loves Clint Eastwood movies. It was sold out the Saturday we went so we returned the following day. I gave it out for gifts to people that I know enjoy watching good movies. I bought my shortly after it came out. Unexpected ending. Can't get enough. I am waiting for my kids to be old enough to watch it. I think it is a great learning experience for teens. To know more about gangs and the problems they can cause. To think in this movie a gang is more powerful than family blood. It also shows how people from different background and different generations can turn to each other and be there for each other. This movie is not a disappointment. I think this movie can give parents the opportunity to watch it with their children when they are old enough and discuss so much. The values that people have. The choice people make. The results of the choices people make. Talk about gangs and how they effect so many people not just the people in them. Gangs - are they family? How one person can effect so many people. How people can help others and not realize it until it is pointed out to them. How silence against gangs could prevent other things from happening. I can't say enough about this movie. GREAT AMAZING FANTASTIC WONDERFUL

Clint Eastwood scored for the sixth straight time (following Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, and Changeling) with this wonderful drama about widowed war veteran Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) who, having cut off (& been cut off) by his two sons (Brian Haley & Brian Howe), is less than thrilled by the arrival of his new neighbors: a Hmong famly. This contempt increases when he catches one of them (Bee Vang) attempting to steal his prized possession: the title automobile. The youth is disciplined by his family and he apologizes to Walt. This turns out to be the first step toward Walt overcoming his own bigotry and eventually embracing his new neighbors.

I hadn't heard much before I bought this movie, but I'm glad I did. It's not like any other movie that I've seen. I couldn't believe how grumpy and racist Clint Eastwood could be. There is a huge twist though that you would never expect and I guess it is his way of getting rid of his burdens carried from the Korean War. The ending hits kinda hard, especially for my girlfriend (who didn't think she would like the movie). I thought it was pretty good overall, but you might want to rent before you buy just to see if it has the same impact on you.

Clint Eastwood did an excellent job, as usual. The story line showed the prejudiced perspective of one individual and how he was able to overcome it with experience and education. At first, I was taken aback by the blatant racism but was won over. The ending was not what I expected but I realize that it had to be that way and the fact that this once very prejudiced individual was willing to lay his life down for someone of a different ethnicity was great!

This is my favorite movie with Clint Eastwood in it!!

Such a great movie. Clint Eastwood does such a great job with these movies and it surely is another classic

Nice looking steelbook (nothing special about it), amazing movie! The only complaint for me is that it did NOT come with a digital code but other than that we’ll worth it.
